2018 US Senate Election- Democratic challengers in Republican held seats that Democrats have a

chance of winning in 2018.
AZ-Mark Kelly-D or Kyrsten Sinema-D are slightly favored to defeat Flake-R and strongly favored to defeat Ward-R. How about Kelly running for the US Senate and his wife running for the US House in AZ-2 against McSally or vice versa?
NV-Ross Miller-D or Kate Marshall-D are slightly favored to defeat Heller-R. One of them will run for Governor, the other will run for the US Senate. Heller does not have the luxury of benefiting from Sandoval's coattails and a weaker opponent that Miller or Marshall.
TX-Beto O'Rourke-D faces an uphill battle to defeat Cruz-R.
UT-Jim Matheson-D,Jason Chaffetz-R as the Republican nominee,and Evan McMullin-I runs as an Independent taking votes away from McMullin could give Matheson a fighting chance.

Miller will give Heller a run,the one person that has not committed is Steve Syoclak a Clark County Commissioner who has a 3 million war chest. Key is,Masteo-Cortes endorsement as well as the Culinary Unions. With Trump's anti Hispanic moves,whom ever runs a anti Trump/Tea Bagger message will win the day.
